Episode 6: Beard Kultur

Are beard-wearers all muscularly-challenged hipsters in gender-identity crisis? Bearded philosopher and writer Dr. Carsten “Baal” Müller, owner of the beard products website Bartkultur, talks about the history of the beard, and its resurgence in popularity in recent years. He shares his interesting perspectives on the advantages of wearing a beard, and the cultural tendencies he thinks may be reinforcing men’s investment in their beards.
